| Abstract | Lightweight concrete has been used widely for long time. Lightweight concrete has been produced with different properties such as different unit weight and different strength.The purpose of this research is to find the effect of W/C, sand, cement and foaming agent on flow ability, unconfined compressive strength, wet density and dry density. The other one is to optimize the mix designs by Design of Experiments (DOE) method. The wet density is tested according to ASTM C138, dry density with ASTM C567, unconfined compressive strength with ASTM C469 and flow ability with ASTM C1437. The report finds out foaming agent and sand has greater influence not only on density but also on unconfined compressive strength. W/C ratio and foam concentration is negatively effect to the flow ability. |
